I get the error Explorer.exe with referenced memory # something. It asks me to terminate it and/or debug. I debug and the entire screen has nothing but the wallpaper. No icons, nadda. Can you guys help me please!? I have another error too but i'll save that one for another day.

Does this error then prevent Windows loading sometimes If so press F8 on first post and se if you can enter on Safe Mode. That is just Safe Mode, not Safe Mode with networking.
Then open My Computer, right click the hard drive, click properties and click Tools, then click Error Checking, then click Check Now, click to check the box Automatically fix file system errors, click Start and in reply to the message "Do you wish to reschedule for next restart" click Yes.
Restart and let it run. DO NOT INTERRUPT
Pls post back when completed.

Please try and give me the answer to each post.ie: Will it load and work in Safe Mode without the error.Safe Mode loads a minumum set of drivers and it maybe that will help identify the cause

IM sorry, i'll just reply to each post like this. Sorry if this isn't what you want. I am sick right now so i can't think worth crap. LOL

1.) For IE: It will load it in Safe Mode. 2.) OneCare: It Didn't Work.3.) Auto Fix Errors on HD: Didn't Work4.) Explorer.exe error message: The Instruction at Ox00bbfdb0 with referenced memory "same number as before". Memory could not be read.

There is absolutely no need to apologise, it was just that I was not sure if it would run in Safe Mode sufficiently to carry out some tests.Pls download this and run it in Safe ModeAllow it to run two passes.It will keep running until you stop it.http://www.memtest.org/
